IMPROVEMENT IN oH'uRNs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAVID FBANKFODER, of

karusa,in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana,-

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ghnrns; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and lto the letters of reference marked thereon and beingla part of this specification, in which- Figure lv is a perspective view of my improved churn, with one of the walls partially broken away to show the interior arrangement of the dashers; and

Figure 2 is a cross-section on the line :c :c in iig. 1. Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.`

The nature of this invention relates to an im-4 proved construction of chums, and

It consists in the combination ofthe operative portions thereof, all constructed and-arranged as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawing- A A'represen'ts a diamondishaped box, forming the body of I ny churn, mounted on suitable legs, provided with -a lid, B, in two sections, hinged together and secured thereto by hooks a, as shown.

C are tubes inserted -in openings inthe lid, above which they project,serviug to admit air to the churn,

and preventing thecreani from splashing out while churning.

D is a plug in the lower part of the churn-bodyfor emptying it of buttermilk or the rinsing-water after churning. y

E are rock-shafts stepped in lthe bottom of the churndiody in tl@y obtuse angles thereof, while their upper ends project through suitable openings in the lid, which openings form their boxes or bearings.

0n each rock-shaft is a series of beaters, E', projecting nearly across the box, those of each rock-shaft alternating with thoseof the other, passing between j them in the vibrations of said rock-shafts. 'lhe beaty-ers form the dashers of the churn. y

lIhe upper ends of the rock-shafts are .squared to receive the rocker-arms F, detachably secured thereon by the keys b, or their equivalents.

At vone end of the churn-body is erecteda standard, Gr, on which is sleeved a lever, H, provided with two studs, c, one at each side of the fulerum G, and equidistant therefrom.

I are connecting-rods, pivoted at one end to the at the ends of the rocker-arms,.so that, by vibrating thelever H, the dashers will be vibrated in opposite directions, their. beaters passing between each other,

by Letters Patent, isr

The combination of the beaters E', rookfshafts E, rocker-arms F,connectingrod I, lever H, and standard G, arranged with relation to each other and the churn-box A, and detached lid=A', as and for the purposeset forth.
